NO, NO, NO!!! WHY TL, WHY???? *whimpers, grimaces, and stomps foot like a temper-tantrum toddler*
For those that are like me and just getting to this goal now (or have this goal in the near future) and also have the fortune teller goal to chop this, but you're not for the shards/fragments, be prepared to skip this Old Log chop for 30 gems. HOLD onto your gems for this purpose! You're going to need those extra glimmer shards/fragments!
There is NO WAY I'm chopping my log for Ivinea when I have sinister sister right now and this whole Faerie quest line in front of me, plus Ivy's lessons. Uh-uh, no way, not going to happen!
I'll give up my 30 gems, grudgingly, just to hold onto that darn log!
